Nunes – IPN, have led to stimulating new ideas for new
materials, technologies, prototypes and products to be directly transferred to
enterprises. IPN, shared by more than 50% by University of Coimbra, is an
Institution of interface between the University and the Industry, mainly through its laboratories “LED&Mat” and “Electrochemistry and Corrosion”,
headed by researchers from CEMMPRE. A procedure for the effectiveness of
knowledge transfer from CEMMPRE include a team integrating researchers of CEMMPRE and managers of the University and IPN to promote the dissemination of the
results with the objective of creating interest in the entrepreneur tissue for
launching new enterprises. “IPN – Incubator” is also a strategic partner of the University
of Coimbra for starting new enterprises based on strong and promising ideas,
which can be demonstrated to be suitable to have success in the market.
